Laughter of a Child

I can hear my son and his friend upstairs. There are lots of bumps and thumps , I don’t even want to go look. Most of all, there is laughter. Sweet laughter of two 8 yr old boys doing heaven knows what. It lifts my spirits. I can’t be doing everything wrong and still have such a happy child. His laughter sweeps thru the house like beams of light from God. As much as I get frustrated at his behavior sometimes, I just can’t even remember life without him. Just letting him be a kid, with his best friend, being silly, making fishing poles from hockey sticks, digging for worms in our neighbor’s yard! Completely destroying the whole house with his high energy, creativeness, and his chocolate lab. Can life get better than that? Here’s to the laughter of a child, my son:)

Is this the truth? When they laugh, all of the concerns and worries go out the window. You know that they are better off than they were and you have this swelling in your heart knowing that your life is so improved!
